In January 30, 2016 in the Kamchatka peninsula by the earthquake

On January 30, 2016,the M7.2 earthquake beneath the Kamchatka Peninsula of Russia occurred as the result of oblique-normal faulting at a depth of 180 km. At the location of this earthquake, the Pacific plate is moving towards the west-northwest with respect to the North America and Eurasia plates at the rate of approximately 77 mm/yr.

Note that some authors divide this region into several microplates that together define the relative motions between the larger Pacific, North America and Eurasia plates; these include the Okhotsk and Amur microplates that are respectively part of North America and Eurasia. The depth and faulting mechanism of the January 30th earthquake indicate that it ruptured a fault within the subducting Pacific lithosphere.Earthquakes like this event, with focal depths from 70 to 300 km, are commonly termed "intermediate-depth" earthquakes.
